Physical, chemical, and social aspects of climate change, especially biogeochemical cycles, soils, carbon sequestration, human adaptations to climate change, and the interactions relating these systems and processes. Dissertation work has begun on addressing the need for a comprehensive soil testing and remediation plan for urban soils to promote use of urban areas for edible gardening. Urban gardening is an example of a human response to climate change, as people seek to affect global environmental change by taking individual action.
